DIR. Harrison's Demurrer.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
LEBANON. July 2L-Having tbreshed his
wheat and attended to few other chores the
farm. Judge Terhune to-day kindly consented to
hear argument on the demurrer in the Harrison
quo warranto case. Harrison represented
by Hon. C. S. Wesner and his brother, r. w.
Harrison. They contended that the Office held
by Harrison is not State Office. neither is it an
appointive office; that it is of purely legislative
creation; that tb> Brown bill oversdes the
stitution and deprives the Governor of the power
to appoint should term OF office terminate
during a session of the Legislature. and that
Legislature neglected or refused to perform it's
duty by appointing a successor.
l.. j. Hackney, representing Mr.. Carson,
contended that the office is State Office
appointive Office and which the Governor
has the right to fill whenever vacancy occurs,
or whenever the term expires, the
Legi stature negects refuses to do it's duty, by
appointments. He prefaced his argument by
statement that he was not much interested
in the kind of d conclusion that the court might
come to as be was that it come to a speedy
clusion. Evidently both parties anticipate an
appeal TO the Supreme Court.

The Sun Cooling Down.
Milwaukee Sentinel.


Men seem most Indifferent to those matters
which concern them most. 1t is the opinion of
scientific minds that the sun is cooling down;
yet people going about the streets mere
seersuckers and straw hats, and even in shirt
sleeves. 1t is now we'll established that the sun
is not burning fire, but is merely fluid mass
cooling, with some little accession of FIRE b
energy by meLeors occasionally falling in. 'of
very small account compared with the amount of
heat the sun steadily loses" Tho theory that the
shrinks because it gets colder and that the
process of shrinking makes 1t hotter, has misled
many good people, So they eat ice-cream and
drink cold lemonade and socalled soda water,
and wear gauze underwear and fan themselves
and that sort of thing. But the latest conclu
sions of science show that the is still
cooling down aud the scientific man can
figure out that yesterday cold
day and that during these two July
weeks we should have had the furnaces going
and put fur mittens and ear mufs. man
has only to fiji himself up with the conclusions
of science in order to correct the notion that the
weather is warm. As the sun is growing colder
the mutual gravitation OF its particles it
shrnks, giving rise to less heat that it lost by
radiatiou-it is manifestly impossible that the
weather should be as hot the lying thermom-
eter declares. 1t Is easy TO prove by any faith
healer that if man once makes up his mind the
weather Is cold. his collar will no longer droop
in dampness about his throbbing neck. the per-
SEPARATION will cease to run N streams down his
back, and he can be comfortable only with D
fur overcoat and fur cap and wooden hose.
